Sandtray Therapy

Sandtray therapy is a non-intrusive and primarily nonverbal form of psychotherapy. It allows individuals to work through emotional and spiritual issues, and to grow through developmental roadblocks by naturally engaging their inner lives. As founder Dora M. Kalff said, sandtray can also become a way of life, facilitating an unfolding of profound meaning that deepens the personality. Sandtray therapy provides the space, freedom, safety and opportunity to work with the psyche’s capacity to heal itself and to move to a new stage of life. Because sandtray is primarily nonverbal and heals on a deep level, it has great success with children and adults alike. 

Sandtray therapy has a deep and permanent healing effect for two reasons. First, solutions arise organically out of the individual, and second, the sandtray process involves the whole person — body, mind, soul, and spirit. To learn more, visit the Colorado Sandplay Therapy Association.
